This 2010 Patriot Day commemoration in the concert grove at Del Valle Park (Woodruff Avenue at Arbor Road) will begin at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 11. The evening will open with a rousing concert of patriotic tunes by the 300th Army Band. A memorial candle lighting and moment of silence – which have become Patriot Day traditions – will follow.
The annual concert commemorates the tragic events of 9/11/2001 and those lost in the terrorist attacks on New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. It also honors those public safety officers and military personnel who are still on the front lines in the struggle against terrorism.
Parking will be at a premium around the park. Those who live near Del Valle Park are encouraged to leave their car at home and walk to the event.
· Light dinner items and snacks will be sold.
· Bring a blanket or low-rise lawn chair for seating.
· Dogs and alcohol are prohibited at all city parks.
